Hey guys, I stumbled upon this thread and found it amusing. Care if I join in? haha
I basically just moved to the DFW area 3 weeks ago from Chicago and 1 of those weeks I spent in NYC on a business trip. I am not too familiar with much at the moment but can obviously understand how the north edge of Dallas (Uptown, Highland Park, Preston Hollow) can be the see-and-be-seen area. I live way up on the west side of Frisco (yeah, far).
I've driven around a little and I actually really like it up here. I lived in the city of Chicago and after 6 years got annoyed with the city. My wife and I don't have kids yet but our neighbors do and they all seem pretty cool.
It's funny that someone mentioned $30k millionaire. I drove past an apartment building on the side of a highway in Frisco last week and saw a bunch of luxury cars parked underneath (not exotics just BMWs, MB, etc.) and thought to myself that their car payment is probably close to their rent payment.
People have it nice down here in terms of taxes though. My monthly income basically increased (due to no state tax) enough to afford a leased Lexus IS for my wife and still have some leftover. Sales tax on a car is 6% unlike 10.5% or whatever in Chicago.
I'm sure there are douches acting rich in every city but at least the DFW area has a lot more 'Chill' people than Chicago. ha my 2 cents
